About

Lee Edwards has been an active player in the modern conservative movement longer than anyone else. As the Daily Caller noted in a recent profile, Edwards "has lived conservative history like none other." And he brings that history to life in Just Right. This memoir is full of colorful stories from a man who has done it all in a remarkable, multifaceted career. Just Right reveals: Edwards's inside account of Barry Goldwater's pivotal 1964 presidential campaign, for which he ran national publicity. How he wrote the first political biography of Ronald Reagan-and discovered early on that Reagan was a secret intellectual who read Hayek, Bastiat, and Whittaker Chambers. Why the New York Times dubbed Edwards "The 'Voice' of the Silent Majority" How he organized the largest public demonstration in support of our men in Vietnam How he created the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, pushing against the federal bureaucracy for two decades to make it happen. In an inspiring chapter aimed at the rising generation, Dr. Edwards shows how conservatives can remain a major political and philosophical force in America.

"Lee Edwards has always been in the forefront of the struggle to restore America, to bring it back to its ancient moorings. . . . Lee has fought hard with uncommon intelligence and resourcefulness. But he has fought fair and always without rancor. . . . Truly, a man for all seasons."
President Ronald Reagan
"It is no easy feat to write a memoir that is also a gripping political chronicle and a real contribution to the history of ideas. But it is a mark of the extraordinary life Lee Edwards has lived that this is just what he has done, and in a way that lets his passion, wisdom, and fundamental decency shine through on every page."
Yuval Levin, editor of National Affairs
"Just Right is not only a fascinating and highly readable book; it is also an authentic account of, and commentary on, the modern conservative movement."
